Join our #Tech4Wildlife Photo Challenge this World Wildlife Day (March 3)

In celebration of World Wildlife Day this Friday, we're going to be holding our second annual #Tech4Wildlife Photo Challenge over on twitter! It would be fantastic to see lots of photos shared from WILDLABS community members showcasing all the ways we're using technology for conservation. 

Last year, our #tech4wildlife community shared hundreds of photos and videos from the field. In the first 10 days alone we saw 1500+ tweets from 500 users, with 185 photos and 12 videos posted. We had everything from robot cheetahs, acoustic bat recorders in the middle of New York City, to mobile frog labs and portable DNA sequencers! Participants started by sharing their photos, but soon found themselves also passing on their experience as in-depth conversations sprung up around the capabilities of different technologies and the outcomes of the projects being shared. 

Check out our 10 favourite entries from last year 

To participate this year, all you need to do is: 

  1. Take a photo of how you are using tech to save wildlife
  2. Share it on Twitter: tell us a bit about your work and the tech featured
  3. Remember to use the hashtag #Tech4Wildlife and tag us at @WILDLABSNET

​We can't wait to see what you're working on!
